Fact is I like the Lehigh bullets better than the Barns all copper because they will do the same job with out leaving copper in my barrel.
SWThomas, what was wrong? My quote from the wrong person (which I admit) or that the Barnes will leave copper fouling in the bore? Which I dont understand? Just trying to learn so dont be too hard on me.

Powerfisher,
That was me that said that I reload and shoot some cartridge competition to and the barns all copper copper coated my .270 and my .223 barrels, so I decided I did not care for them. I found a wide variation in weight also, the all brass or gilded are better. Lee

Thanks Lee. My reading comprehension isnt the best at times so the copper fouling confused me. Thanks for clearing it up for me. I thought that somehow I was missing the the tell-tale blue-hue from the copper. This post stirred up a lot of questions. Sorry I got off topic.

Two things - I think the Nosler should be listed right in their also because the nose lead is not protected (not bonded to the copper) and is basically used to start the mushrooming process.
This is the best definition we have heard so far - of those bullets and I would even go so far as to say any normally accepted American Big Game hunting bullet.
I would also second this thought into a difficult medium while it has sufficient energy...
I would think it fair that a SST/SW, Barnes, etc may shed some weight but is not DESIGNED to fragment.

Any bullet will fragment if you shoot it fast enough.

Still holding out for the pics of the fragmented Barnes bullets. I have yet to see a barnes ML bullet loose any part of itself other than the polimer tip.

I would suggest finding something else to do. The people that use the Barnes bullets already know the bullets mentioned don't have polymer tips. Also it was my mistake to even bring that up on this board. All information i posted was false and i have no pictures to back it up.

Now I'm a relative young'un here so go easy on me if my understanding of history is off, but it is my understanding that the Partition is a relatively old design that was revolutionary in its time because of its ability to hold the bulk of the bullet together as bonded bullets had not really been introduced (or at least perfected) yet. At least that's always been my understanding of how things came about...I was probably 8 or 9 when I read this explanation so I may be wrong.
